Website Migration

Q: Why should I move my web site? What does website migration include?
A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer fulfill the needs of your site, or if you go through continuous downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the client service staff to reply to you, it might be a clever idea to swap your web hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your web sites together with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At PIT BAY Cloud Web Hosting and Domain Registrar, we are aware that this can often be difficult & time–consuming. That’s why we’ll do all that for you at no cost!Our practiced technical team members will move your web site content from your current provider to us. Our techs have broad experience with website migration and can handle anything – from a customary WordPress–powered weblog or Joomla™–powered web site, to a very elaborate, custom–built app.

Q: How much time will the website migration procedure take?
A: We try to implement all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Yet, we do not have a set time frame for website migrations. There are various elements that you need to take into consideration – the very size of your website and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We constantly strive to implement each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized websites, our team usually manages to finish within 24 hours.

Q: Do you need something from me before you start transferring my web site?
A: Yep. We’ll require the name of the website that you’d like us to migrate. We will also need a means to log in to your current web hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your web site.

Q: The login info for my hosting account is delicate. How can I trust you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a customer. We’re committed to safeguarding the safety of the private information obtained from the clients. To achieve that, we use technical safety measures to prevent the loss, the abuse, the alteration or the illegal leak of the personal data under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative operations to safeguard and secure the information that we obtain on the web. When we ask clients to present financial information (such as a debit card number), this info is encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
-
Q: Will my website be unavailable during the migration?
A: Your website will continue to work just like it did before with your former hosting provider. When we have finished the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our system and we’ll ask you to preview it. If everything is functioning properly, all you will have to do is edit the NS records associated with your domain name. Your website will be transferred to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider discover that I am leaving them?
A: Nah. We will never contact your web hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the website transfer either.

Q: Which hosting providers can you migrate website content from?
A: Yeah. We support all conventional Linux–based hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–driven hosting platforms, because we do not offer Windows web hosting services ourselves.In addition, we do not support proprietary web site creation and administration interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
